Courtship Advice

After much anthropological observation of the Coptic male attempting a courtship ritual here are some suggestion:
1. Hitting on women does not involve physical assault. (who knew!)
2. Get the woman’s name right before talking to her.
3. If the woman is walking away from you as your talking to her, don’t yell so she can hear you as she walks away. Stop talking and retain what little dignity you have left.
4. Because she does not run away from you while you’re talking to her, its not because she’s interested in you but because she’s polite.
5. Telling her “You really need to get to know her” is not a good opening line.
6. No need for desperation, you will not shrivel up and die if you do not marry by a certain age (despite what your mother tells you in every phone call)
7. Stalking, while anectdotally successful, is not technically legal.
8. A restraining order is not playing hard to get.
9. It helps greatly if you both can speak the same language fluently.
10. Used a a patent-pending Coptic Pickup line from “Not So Spiritual Words” (there has 1 documented success!)
